Hi, it's me, Dan. I used to roleplay in this community, though I decided a few months back to leave due to an overwhelming amount of personal and roleplaying issues.
#1
Anywho, I noticed you have this project going, and while I will not discourage you from going ahead with it, I believe that you could gain a lot by communicating with Shawdow, the leader of the Caliphate of Kharidia, whose lands you seem to desire for your own PoK here. I have spoken to him already, and he said you hadn't gone to him yet, but knowing him, I'm sure he'd be willing to do a whole plot with you if you asked. He's great.
So, perhaps you guys could set up some claimant war or something like that over control of the Caliphate's lands. I don't know. I'd be willing to help set something like that up.
#2
I feel like your new project would benefit from accurate cultural portrayal and titles fit for the region. For example, the Ottoman Empire was only called an 'empire' because that is the common, English translation of their empire was called.
So, like the Ottomans, you could call your PoK a 'sultanate,' like the Ottoman Sultanate, which is led by a Sultan (which is generally a male title, the female variation of the title is Sultana, but female rulers have been known to take male variations of the title, such as Jadwiga, who was crowned the 'King of Poland' as was the customary title of the monarch in Poland at the time, despite being female).
A sultanate would be far more fitting for the region you're intending on claiming than an 'empire.' You don't have to do it (I'm not forcing you or anything), but it would certainly give your roleplay a more authentic cultural touch.

When referring to an Emperor or Empress, it isn't 'Her or His Empress.' It is 'His or Her Imperial Majesty,' by the way.
I apologize if this all seems a bit pretentious or rude, I really only want to help you out. Please, have fun and enjoy your roleplay, Bread Person.

I would only request that you do research before speaking with such confidence as you have exhibited already; both on real-world topics
and
on the RP community which you yourself purport to have departed from a long time ago.
For example:
Dansplainer said :
Egypt is considered part of the Middle East, as well as North Africa
No they aren't. (And furthermore, trying to argue over "Middle Eastern" cultures as a homogenized, blended mess of countries is terribly ignorant in itself. Life in Yemen differs strikingly from that in Armenia despite geographical nearness, so calling Egypt "Middle Eastern" would have been useless anyway.)
Like you said, OP is not obliged to take your advice. But if she chooses to do so, I think you owe her a degree of accuracy in your statements, or else your efforts at improving "cultural portrayals" are nothing more than self-sabotage, good intentions without substance.
Granted, yours will be a worthy debate when the topic of al-Kharid arises. That region is more of a mishmash than Menaphos.
